- Who can play at Vegas Game Day?
- Anyone. Vegas Game Day has always maintained an open door policy and always will. Anyone can come and play ... any game on any game day. We ask that folks give us a heads up so we can help promote their games on both the VGD Warhorn site and VegasGamers.org and so we make sure we set aside enough space for them. Those are the only things we ask and those are requests, not requirements, to help clubs get word out and have a great time gaming.
- What about the local game stores?
- Do we love the stores? You bet we do. In fact, we support them whenever we are asked to do so. Still, having Vegas Game Day at neutral place to just sit and play is good thing for everyone because it helps the gaming community grow. In fact, here is a list of our favorite local game & comic stores. Be sure to check them out!
- Who can blog, form groups and post events on VegasGamers.org?
- You! This is a site for and by the community. We post events as we hear about them, but don't wait on us. If you have an event, just post it. The same goes for blogging, creating groups, starting forum discusssions and posting photos, music and video. Knock yourself out!
- Are there any rules or restrictions?
- Yep. Rule #1 - Use common sense and common courtesy. We do have kids and teens on this website with regularity. So, please refrain from posting links to objectionable content. Rule #2 - When in doubt, refer to Rule #1. Rule #3 - Have fun and don't impede others from doing the same. Other rules may come as we grow,but more than likely, they will simply be clarifications on Rules 1-3.
- What is this "Neoncon"I keep hearing about?
- Neoncon is gaming convention held each fall here in Las Vegas and run by the folks who bring you VegasGamers.org and Vegas Game Day. In addition to Neoncon, Las Vegas is home to three other major pop-culture conventions: Know of another event? Let us know about it and we will be happy to post it here and on our events calender if needed.
